Heart Alone

Beyond the darkness scarred within The heat of my light is growing dim And all those that I could have freed Have buried their hearts, because of me And what it was for me to play The distance of love beyond decay All settled now beneath the sand So far away, where I let it land Come unto me my desperate pain To remind me once more of my disdain For all I should and could have been Again in the sand, my forgotten needs But what it was is all so lost The light that grows dim is now the cost As shadows whisper of my death I understand now everything that’s left This heart a glimpse of all that’s wrong For all those I broke; for why I long My heart and me forever gone Together alone, as we carve our song

Compelling expression of true remorse, Ian. Fan the flames of your light and let love in again. Everyone deserves a second chance...and a third, and a fourth, etc. We just keep trying until we get it right. Bless you, Carolyn
